Market Trends
Regulation Drives Demand
The EU's 2024 regulation bans SF6 in new medium-voltage switchgear up to 24 kV starting in 2026, followed by bans at higher voltages through 2030 and 2032. This forces DSOs, industrial users, and data centers to commit to SF6-free designs.
Expansion to Higher Voltage Classes
Until recently, SF6-free GIS was limited to 145 kV. The market now has references at 245 kV, 400 kV, 420 kV, and even 550 kV, unlocking adoption in bulk power transmission projects.
Competing Gas Technologies
Natural-origin Clean Air and engineered gas blends like g3 and Novec are advancing in parallel. Clean Air delivers zero GWP, while g3 reduces CO2-equivalent emissions by ~99%. Both are gaining acceptance across Europe and Asia.
From Pilots to Rollouts
Framework agreements and multi-site contracts mark the shift from pilot projects to systematic programs. E.ON's deal with Schneider Electric and Statnett's multiple 420 kV projects are leading examples.
New Buyers Beyond Utilities
Data centers, industrial electrification projects, and LNG facilities are emerging buyers, particularly in Europe and Asia, where decarbonization targets are strongest.
Digital Integration
Next-generation SF6-free GIS integrates digital sensors, asset health monitoring, and process-bus technology. Utilities see cost savings not only from environmental compliance but also from improved reliability and reduced operational costs.

Supply Chain Localization
Tariff uncertainty in 2025 is pushing manufacturers to localize production, qualify regional suppliers, and lock in long-term framework agreements to secure availability and hedge against policy volatility.
Bankability and Standards
Independent testing and EU LIFE-backed projects give utilities confidence in SF6-free performance. More transmission operators are now publishing technical specifications with GWP ≤ 1 requirements, accelerating mainstream adoption.
